Tactics, in chess, are present in every single game, just as coding is present in all software projects. Tactics are what makes or breaks most games of chess, just as coding is what makes or breaks most software projects. Gambling on a chess game? Put your money on the tactical whiz who has never studied openings over the master of the English opening -- even in an English game! In the same way: hire people who can read, write and talk about code over those with sloppy code and really deep knowledge of J2EE.

Разница между БД и объектно-ориентированым приложением в том, что объект инициализируется кодом и изменение его структуры и поведения воспринимается при перекомпиляции и новом запуске приложения.

The only people who can write a Haskell tutorial are the people who know Haskell. Ironically, someone who knows Haskell won’t be able to write a tutorial for the average programmer. They’ll focus too much on the features that make Haskell cool, rather than how to do practical things with it; which is just what the average programmer wants. Haskell gurus have spent so much time in their theoretical wonderlands, they’ve forgotten what it’s like to be an outsider.
